For security purpose, the password a user enters when switching to a higher user level
is not displayed. A user will remain at the original user level if the user has tried three
times to enter the correct password but fails to do this.
You can configure the level of a specific command in a specific view. Commands fall
into four command levels: visit, monitor, system, and manage, which are identified as
0, 1, 2, and 3 respectively. The administrator can change the command level a
command belongs to.

enter other views by executing the corresponding commands.
